(seem like a lot of classes so exceptions seem possible.

And if the Five have to take this seriously like it was a real world they would have to allow for the possibility that a summon minion could keep going on after the summoner’s defeat. Not worth the risk when your best damage dealing tank is about to go down. Er… I mean your beloved companion…

He goes out of his way to use the word Champion and not the word hero. It is possible that he sees himself as an “anti-hero” who is willing to commit dark acts in order to preserve what he sees as good. Similar to the “agent” in Serenity who was able to go about the most horrendous of acts cheerfully and politely because he truly believed he was making a better world where people like him would no longer be necessary and further more would not truly belong. Until Mal opened his eyes to the reality of his masters true nature the Agent was able to remain extremely positive about what he was doing because the pay off was going to be incredibly good and make things awesome for everyone else. (he sort of implied if he wasn’t already dead or neutralized by then he would remove himself in some fashion… ) Don’t know if The Champion of the Fuzzy peoples will truly go as far as that Agent or if he has thought it out that much but he does seem to be a deep thinker under the mask if what he occasionally says to the young Avatar is any indication.

This whole thing makes me wonder about how the PC’s affect the world. Its clear from what H.R. says that The Five, and to a lesser extent the PC’s directly interacting with them, are capable of getting levels of realism/communication out of NPC’s and even PC’s that no other PC’s can on their own. The audience of course sees everybody as fully realized and properly motivated beings. So what I am wondering is: If characters like The Champion of the Fuzzy Peoples is being played by a PC from Sepia world into making certain overall choices it seems unlikely those PC’s have such fine control as to cause all these deep thoughts and speeches we are seeing so are characters like the Champion actually 2 people in one. The PC is calling the big shots but its up to the “game world” side being to come up with reasons WHY he would do all of that? As well as fill in all the little details and skills that make that action really work in a fully realized universe. And just like when H.R. tried to control the world and partially succeeded how often do the characters manage to bend what the PC’s are commanding them to do into something more realistic? Do the PC’s even SEE the same actions that their characters do? Or are they respawning in a grave yard when the character is merely incapacitated with serious injuries in a medic station or whatever? (if that character who ended up with damaged legs is a PC and his PC is aware that he has become gimpy it must mean H.R. has created a rather robust system to deal with non-fatal injuries??)

Can’t wait till we get more on how Sepia world players talk about their experiences though I am starting to get the depressing thought the writers are going to wait till the very end or not at all to reveal this cause they actually aren’t sure of exactly how it goes in any detailed way so are leaving it vague on purpose. :(

Genocide seems to be done in an attempt to survive in the resource limited wastes that the savage races had to live in after being kicked out of greener pastures/mountains by the Gastonions. (had they not run their THEY would have been either enslaved or eliminated as a race) The Gastonion’s have a leader who sided with a powerful cult seeking to bring about the end of the living world in order to accomplish his little power plays. He fed them/is going to feed them a whole community of his own people to do this.

The reason arguments can always be made for the equivalence of the “evils” on both sides is likely because the authors are working hard to write them that way for as long as possible so you will side with “The Five” who will, I’m betting, eventually be working hard to find a way to save everybody on both sides. The authors want them all to be equally grand or flawed “people” instead of monsters and heroes.

That said I guess its fine for people to point out which side is currently seeming to be ahead in the darkness of their grey so the authors will know if they are doing to good a job muddying one side or the other. (and for the same reason its great that others who truly believe they are still roughly “equal” to support their claims)
